Will India meet surplus electric power production in 2013?

摘要

Government reports show that India's peak and energy demand have grown at annual average rates of 5% and 6%, respectively over the last decade. Corresponding peak and energy deficits meanwhile have been in the range of 12-14% and 9-10% respectively. The need to bridge this gap motivated reforms to attract private sector investments through competitive bidding, market development through open access and power trading, and introduction of point of connection tariff regime in transmission. The private sector exceeded its investment target of 15 GW capacity addition with an actual of 23 GW in the 11th five year plan from 2007-2012.
